Outdated, but still had some gems.

First, I applaud you for looking into leadship audiobooks! I appreciate you for wanting to improve yourself so that you may improve others.

I struggled with a few sections of this book. While there were great organizational and inspirational tips in the material, some areas read like a "Prosperity Gospel" sermon while others sounded self-promotional. Also, it was noticeable in some areas that it was written by someone raised in an older generation and by someone who might be out of touch with today's workplace. I would still give it a listen because you can still help hone (or even generate new) skills. But, just like with any book, be cautious and use discernment while reading and/or listening.

Interesting, not actionable

Maybe I being too harsh, but the book reads much more like a series of successes and failures throughout history. Biggest impact is just thinking of yourself as a leader.

I’m glad I read it once, doubt I’ll read again.

EXCELLENT 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Priceless and every chapter is worthy of your time. Dedicate the time and toy
you will immediately be able to apply each lesson to your life.

Great to get you started or refresh your skills

I didn’t like the law of sacrifice but everything else was great . I seen too many leaders develop cancer or lose their family over this law.

This will NOT be a one and done

Will be coming back here to re-read and re-listen often. Every one of these rules needs repetition, review and deeper study.

A must read.

this is a must read book for anyone wanting to better their life.god bless you John Maxwell for this content

Great leadership advice!

This was such a helpful read! I love the stories and the connection with leadership success!

Incredible leadership book

This book is an absolute textbook of how to be a leader. John Maxwell summarizes his decades of leadership experience in this book. He goes over many concepts that he’s talked about in his other books. The book is short and to the point. Excellent questions excellent examples and very convicting I will certainly read it again.

Just listen to the audible

John Maxwell is the man with the plan in his hand. Pretty soon you will be playing in the sand.

Very inspirational

This book has been a great read and helps me to see what is needed to be a God fearing leader.

A staple for any leadership basis

Intro from the author was great, you can tell he has had a life of public speaking.

The narrator; not so much.

But don’t let that out you off. Consuming the ideas on this book was great for me, the stories and history that makes up the preface to the laws was equally great and helped me identify the point that is being made.

Great listen, albeit, the narrator is a little less charasmatic than the author

Amazing book on leadership

This book has a huge amount of great advice. People that reviewed this title and called it common sense have never been in a leadership role. Everything seems easy on paper or when you’re standing on the sideline. The fact is that this is invaluable information when you’re encountering difficulties as a leader and even though you may know some of the things there are things you haven’t thought much about or didn’t prioritize.

A M A Z I N G!!!

very interesting. easy flow. very practical
it is definately worth listening. one of the very few books that i will definately listen again

A Treasure

What a brilliant book!
I learnt so much from this book as I desire to be an influential leader in every area of my life.
Thank you John Maxwell for your love for learning. It blessed me a lot to hear this updated version as a result of your love for learning.
